New 4-H dog club begins Jan. 3

A new dog 4-H club for youth ages 8–18 will begin on Jan. 3, 2019. Meetings will be every other Thursday at 6:45-7:45 p.m. at the Lancaster Event Center – 4-H office located by Pavilion 3. Focus will be on obedience through May, with a formal graduation ceremony at that time. Through the summer months, obedience will be reviewed with the addition of showmanship to prepare 4-H'ers for the Lancaster County Super Fair and potentially State Fair. Summer schedule to be determined.

Youth should be able to maintain general control of their dog before joining this club. A training collar (also known as a choke chain) and a 6 foot leather leash will be required. All dogs must have updated vaccination records and a copy must be provided to the club leader. For more information, contact John Croghan at 402-957-3651.
